This bug is awaiting verification that the linux- aws-6.5/6.5.0-1008.8~22.04.1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux- aws-6.5' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-aws-6.5'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-aws-6.5' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-aws-6.5'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

After enabling -proposed and installing the -proposed 6.5.0-6 kernel and rebooting I encountered the following: `kdump-config show` shows `current state: Not ready to kdump` and looking at the status of the kdump-tools services I see `Cannot determine the file type of /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz` Full output: ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ sudo kdump-config show DUMP_MODE: kdump USE_KDUMP: 1 KDUMP_COREDIR: /var/crash crashkernel addr: 0xde000000 /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz: symbolic link to /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.0-6-generic kdump initrd: /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img: symbolic link to /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-6.5.0-6-generic current state: Not ready to kdump kexec command: no kexec command recorded ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ sudo service kdump-tools status ● kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdump-tools.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Tue 2023-09-26 09:21:44 UTC; 5min ago Process: 515 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/kdump-tools start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 515 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CPU: 4min 21.329s Sep 26 09:16:14 cloudimg systemd[1]: Starting kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service...

I used https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/kernel-crash-dump guide for installing linux-crashdump and attempting to trigger a dump. I used arm64 qcow cloud image from http://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/mantic/20230925/mantic-server-cloudimg-arm64.img to test the above emulated on amd64.
